I think its maybe best to get a baby and let it grow with you and to learn (you and the bird too) as you go. I have adopted 2 types of amazons a DYH and YN and bought another BF from a friend but after 3 years with my flock he just wasnt happy here (he wanted my YN female so I sold him but still keep in touch where he is now. He is doing much better so it was what was best. I hate to have birds go from home to home but sometimes it just has to happen for them or the owners I know. Do you have other birds?? I have 12 different types of birds, so its more of a nut house at times :0)Debbie
